Disappointed that Planet Comicon is having to postpone due to the Covid-19 crisis. Still, I salute them for making the hard call and looking out for their fans, guests, exhibitors, and staff.
Hope that I’ll be able to attend when the show is rescheduled!
I’m starting off my 2020 convention season with a terrific local show!
It’s the 10th Anniversary of the Great Lakes Comic Convention and they’re pulling out all the stops. Lots of great guests, exhibitors, and even prizes!
The show takes place at the Macomb Community College Expo Center at 14500 E. 12 Mile Road in Warren, Michigan. Doors open Friday, February 21 at 5 PM and the fun goes until 9 PM. Then Saturday, show hours are 10 PM to 6 PM.
Come see me at Booth 828 either day. Or both! I’ll have plenty of copies of the new HARLEY QUINN & THE GOTHAM GIRLS Collection, along with lots of other comics, and will happily sign any of my stuff that you bring along. No charge!
I kept saying I was going to set up an online store. Now, thanks to the folks at Square (same folks I use for credit card sales), I’ve followed through. Want to check out what’s available? Simply click “Storrieville Bookshop” link in the menu on every page! (Or the one right here.)
Sadly, I don’t have copies of every book I’ve written for sale. I’ll try to make as many available as possible.
Right now, I’m set up for flat rate shipping prices. They’re higher than I’d like, but it’ll be awhile before I can shift over to multiple shipping rate options.
The Pop Culture Squad is a swell website devoted to comics, movies, gaming, and…well, you guessed it: all aspects of pop culture. Recently, I had a chance to chat with Bob Harrison about the upcoming release of Harley Quinn & the Gotham Girls (collecting the 2002-2003 Gotham Girls mini-series) and the upcoming second Viking Queen story, The Sleepers in Shadow! Hope you enjoy reading/listening as much as we did talking.
Poison Ivy fans: I expect some of you will be gunning for me after this, but I want to assure you that I love Ivy a whole lot. Maybe just in a slightly different way than you do.
Storm-tossed to a strange land far across the sea, Elgven and her war band discover a corpse-strewn village and a single, traumatized survivor. To save her crew and return them safely home, the Viking Queen must first overcome — The Sleepers in Shadow!
A chilling new tale of monsters, magic, and mayhem by Paul D. Storrie, Kristen Cella, Sean Seal, & Justin Birch. Cover by Joshua Werner.
In stores March 25th, 2020. Best way to be sure it’s on the shelf of your favorite local comic shop is to take the Order Code (JAN201984) to your local retailer and ask them to order you a copy!
The second Viking Queen one-shot is now complete and will be showing up in the Previews Catalog (from which your Local Comics Retailer can order you a copy) in December! Should be in stores March 25th, 2020.
Story by me. Art by Kristen Cella. Colors by Sean Seal. Letters by Justin Birch.
And check out that cool cover by Source Point Press art honcho Joshua Werner!
Looking for me October 18-20th? Well you can find me at 20th annual BALTIMORE COMIC-CON! I’ll be at Booth 1121 all weekend long.
I’ll also be on the Myth, Legends, Folklore & Comics panel from 3:15-4:15 on Friday afternoon, along with such luminaries as Stan Sakai, Walter Simonson, Kasey Pierce, and moderator Christy Blanch.

Look forward to seeing folks there!
Currently plotting and scheming with Denver Brubaker about…things. He’s a good guy and a talented cartoonist. You should hie yourself hence to his website, Journal Into Mystery (and, from thence, his various and sundry social media accounts).
It’s just been officially announced that I’ll once again be a guest at one of the best Comic Book Conventions in the United States — Baltimore Comic-Con! Click on the banner below to check out the incredible Guest List (you’ll find me there right between Jim Steranko and Karl Story) and other important information about the show: Like how to buy yourself tickets!
Marc & Shelly Nathan, along with a fantastic crew, throw a terrific shindig each year. This year is the 20th Anniversary, so I expect all the stops to be pulled out and the dials set all the way to 11!
When I’ve got my booth number, I’ll be sure to post it here. Hope to see lots of Storrievillians there.
Looks like dreams do come true! I’ve long hoped for a collected edition of the Gotham Girls mini-series I wrote for DC Comics way back when. People online ask me about it. People at conventions ask me about it. Until now, all I could do is point them to the digital editions (because the original comics go for 10 times the cover price or more). But no more!
I recently learned via a Tweet from World’s Finest (a wonderful online resource for the DC Animated Universe) that there’s collected edition on the way early in 2020! I expect this happy event owes much to the upcoming Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) coming next year as well. So “Thank You, Margot Robbie!!!”
Thanks should also go to my collaborators and editors on the book: Jennifer Graves (Pencils), J. Bone (Inks), Trish Mulvihill (Colors), Bradley Rader (Layouts on #3), Rick Burchett (Layouts on #5), Tim Harkins (Letter on #1), Phil Felix (Letter on #2-5), Shane Glines (Cover on #1-4), Rian Hughes (Cover on #5), Digital Chameleon (Color Separator), Harvey Richards (Asst. Editor), & Joan Hilty (Editor).
Previews Catalog Order Number, which allows you to order it from you Local Comic Shop, is NOV190545! (It’s also available for pre-order now through Amazon, but I encourage you to support your local comic shop and/or independent bookstore if you can.)
I’ll certainly be hauling an ample supply around to my convention appearances as soon as I can lay my hands on ’em.
In fact, people often ask me, “Paul, how should I buy your books? From you? From a comic store? In print? Digitally?” My answer is this: Whatever way is most convenient for you! Sure, I get the most money from a direct sale, but having comic shops and book vendors thinking “Hey, I just sold a bunch of these! I should order more!” is never a bad thing.
In the words of Igor from YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, “Suit yourself. I’m easy!”
